Tali Releases New Album Wolves On April 17
Internationally-renowned New Zealand MC/Freestyler, Tali, will release her new album Wolves on April 17.
Inspired by the raw vibes and rough beats of 90s Hip Hop and the dreamy layering of contemporary Electronic music, Tali has created an album that in her own words, “Reflects my personality and outlook on life – At times moody, dark and intense, but interspersed with glimmers of hope, love and strength”.
Wolves, an album full of “Electronic Soul, and Gangsta Jazz” was produced, written and performed independently and combines songs of personal reflection and fierce story telling.
Since moving to the UK in 2001, Tali has cemented herself as one of the most prolific female MC/Freestylers to emerge from the electronic dance music scene and has worked with some of the genre’s biggest names. Tali signed to legendary Roni Size’s ‘Full Cycle’ Imprint in 2004 and released the first ever MC-driven album in Drum n Bass – her impressive debut album Lyric On My Lip (featuring the UK hit single Lyric On My Lip).
Since then she has won numerous awards, had a UK top 40 hit, released another three albums (Do It For Yourself; Dark Days, High Nights; Of Things To Come), seven SoulSide Sessions (a free Drum n Bass mix she curates and hosts alongside DJ Emma G), countless singles – one of which was picked up by BBC1 xtra; and has toured the world extensively as both an MC and with a live band.
With a massive string of live shows already under her belt – most recently, Rhythm & Vines, Kaikoura Summersounds, Splore, Wanderlust festival, Sundaise, and Southern Shakedown festival; Tali is embarking on a four date tour of NZ in support of Wolves. Her latest live set consists of Tali on her Roland keyboard, triggering her own backing beats, playing keys and rapping and singing in her own style infused with jazz and hip hop swag.
Later in the year, Tali will be reunited with Roni Size and Dynamite MC, playing support for them on select New Zealand dates. Following which, she will also be touring Europe in June both as an MC and performing her solo set on keys.
